CHAMBER CELEBRATES NEW MONUMENT SIGN

he O’Fallon Chamber broke ground on a new monument sign in front of their soon to be new office space on Monday, August 13 at 2145 Bryan Valley Commercial Drive in O’Fallon, MO. Growth had inspired the O’Fallon Chamber Board of Directors to start looking for a place to expand into and accommodate the needs of their 500+ members.

The O’Fallon Chamber expects to be moved into their new location later this fall.
